Solace for the Children Summer Hosting Program

What is Solace?

Solace For The Children is an organization of volunteers that provides medical and dental care to needy children. Through a 6-week summer hosting program, children from Afghanistan come to the United States and stay with American families while they receive treatment. The cost of bringing the children here is covered by sponsoring churches or other groups in the area. The local medical community donates their services to treat these special children. 

The Mission:

Solace For The Children is committed to demonstrating God's love by providing medical and dental care to children in need. Realizing that many children worldwide are at risk due to health, environmental and political issues, Solace For The Children provides a framework of opportunity for ecumenical mission efforts.

Want to Host a Child from Afghanistan in your home?

Hosting one of these children is a life-changing experience, but the effects reach beyond individual homes. Friendships develop between Afghan children of different ethnicities, host families from different churches, Afghan and American families, and local volunteers. These relationships are the beginning of a foundation for lasting peace between Americans and Afghans, one person at a time.
